Alice encounters a doppelgänger or a recording of herself and is shocked as to the style of speech she uses, and how stupid it sounds, and inquires of her friends as to whether she really sounds like that and/or says those things all the time.
Truth in Television - or so, at least, it's often claimed. We hear our own voices through our own ears, which are interrupted by our brains' perception and we often perceive it as different from how it really is and are surprised by the real thing. Part of this is because your voice reverberates through your own skull, making it sound deeper. However, your voice doesn't necessarily sound bad if you don't like it, it's just that you're more used to how you hear it than how everyone else apparently does. Some audio devices do change voices somewhat when playing them back, further contributing to the belief in this idea, however.
Compare with Reality Is Unrealistic. Contrast with Voice Change Surprise.
Here is a compilation with a lot of examples of this quote and other variations.

A variation happens in Super Troopers, when Farva quotes O'Hagan's favorite expression in the same fake Irish accent. The (drunk) O'Hagan asks the other cops if he really sounds like that. Their expressions are priceless, as they try to come up with a good answer, especially since they're all pretty wasted.

Royal Pains had a serious example. Their patient of the week has an Eastern European accent, but is referenced as being from the American mid-west. This leads them to realize that she's suffering from Foreign Accent Syndrome and likely has serious brain damage. They reveal this to her by recording her voice and playing it back for her. She even says the trope name when she hears her voice.

Marge.
And again with Homer in another episode. Bart tells him his voice sounds perfect for a cartoon, and...
They also subverted it in one episode, where Bart plays a recording of a "conversation" he "had" with "Marge" (it was Bart doing both voices, poorly imitating his mother's) about whether Otto could live in their garage.

On one episode of MythBusters, Grant recorded the "Coming up on Mythbusters!" pre-commercial thing on one of the oldest voice recording machines, and after hearing it played back asked if he really sounded like that. Then the next several things he said were all in a deliberately deeper voice.

In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode "Charades", a now-human Spock is being taught how to act like a Vulcan by Number One, Uhura, La'an and Ortegas. The girls are obviously taking the piss on him by speaking like he used to speak, leading him to ask this question. They all respond with a Blunt "Yes".

Arrested Development: "Ready, Aim, Marry Me" Michael asks Tobias to record and listen to his own voice in order to hear himself, hoping he would notice that almost everything he says is Innocent Innuendo. Tobias does notice something unusual in his style of speech but still manages to completely miss the point: he realizes he sounds conceited. As an added bonus, his reaction to this realization is itself an innuendo: "Tobias, you blowhard!"

When Edge and Randy Orton impersonated D-Generation X, Orton (playing Shawn Michaels) imitated Michaels' "dancing" to the ring. When the real DX came out, the first thing Michaels says to Triple H is "You gotta tell me: do I really look that stupid?" HHH's reply? "Shawn, I'm not gonna lie to ya. (to Edge and Orton) What's with you guys?"

In one of the Red Dwarf books Rimmer recalls being horrified at hearing his own voice on an answering machine, as he learned that what he'd imagined to be a clear and proper voice of command proved to be a heavily accented mumbling. He's remembering this because of meeting a hologram of himself, and seeing his own mannerisms and personality from the outside is 1000 times worse.

Early in Superior Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus, having taken over Peter Parker's body, is checking out one of his old labs. He triggers a trap with a video recording of Ock in his prime boasting of his greatness and moans over both the voice and the arrogance.
When Peter gets his body back, he briefly pretends to still be Ock in a hammy manner. Peter then asks "wow, I spent months talking like that and no one noticed?"

In the Big Finish Doctor Who episode Caerdroia, the Doctor gets a Literal Split Personality and comments that he thought he was taller, which doesn't really make much sense, despite being rather funny and endearing because he really isn't all that tall.

In one of the audio dramas, Vala is being held in a prisoner and Daniel has to come in and negotiate for her release. Vala narrates the events that led to this situation, starting off with when she and the rest of SG-1 were beginning a mission. She imitates each of their voices.
There's also an episode of the show where a bounty hunter uses a device to imitate Mitchell's voice.

The leads are very defensive of this trope. Particularly Katara in "The Ember Island Players":
Zuko too.
Subverted with Toph, who finds the depiction of herself as a deep-voiced macho man very flattering.

During Thane's loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2, Captain Bailey mentions that there's a Shepard VI—and you get to see it in Mass Effect 3. It's an exaggerated version of Shepard's canon "personality" - the Paragon version is ridiculously cheery and gung-ho, while the Renegade version suggests you tear it out of its socket and run off if you can't pay.

In The Nanny, Fran usually seemed absolutely oblivious to her nasal goose-honk like voice. One time, when hearing herself on TV, she said there must be something wrong with the set because sounded so nasal. However, later, when she's trying to climb out of a stuck elevator, she screams.

During Thane's loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2, Captain Bailey mentions that there's a Shepard VI—and you get to see it in Mass Effect 3. It's an exaggerated version of Shepard's canon "personality" - the Paragon version is ridiculously cheery and gung-ho, while the Renegade version suggests you tear it out of its socket and run off if you can't pay.
The Citadel DLC mission takes this one step further - the villain is an evil clone who borrows Shepard's infamous "I should go" before sealing the team in a vault. Guess what Shepard's biggest concern is?
Reactions from the said comment above ranges from confirmation, constructive criticisms about how Shepard show weakness with that line, genuinely thought that it is a traditional human farewell so they didn't fuss about it, to sharing the same sentiment of abusing a phrase/word and thus has no place to talk. And when Shepard is still worrying over their catchphrase, the rest of the squad are panicking and tell Shepard to focus on their predicament.

This can happen in The Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time, after you've acquired Arthur and jumped back to the time zone you found him in. If you backtrack along the path you took to get to him, Arthur makes fun of how his past self tries to sound spooky to warn you off, then after the act is dropped, he asks you if his voice sounds dorky.

In Girl Genius, when the Dingbot containing Agatha's holographic message about the Other finally turns up again in England, playing the message shows its journey through snippets of conversation, since apparently it plays all its recordings and then records a new one, presumably assuming it's a reply. The snippets all begin with the person who's handing it off reacting to the recording of them receiving it, including "Goodness, do I really squint like that?" "Heavens — Hadn't realised I was that fat..." and "Ugh, do I really sound like that?"

Red vs. Blue: During the last part of the Shisno Paradox trilogy, both Sarge and Donut express this when they heard their past selves talk. In Donut's case, it's a key part of starting his Character Development, as he realizes just how much innuendo he accidentally lets into his speech and starts making efforts to correct it.

Meru from Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei stopped talking after some boys made fun of her voice, and she recorded her voice to hear what it sounded like. She was so shocked, she started communicating via text messages. Abusive Text Messages.

A variation from The Emperor's New Groove: Yzma has been turned into a fluffy little cat and reacts to her voice sounding higher with "Is that my voice? Is that... my voice?!"
Of course, she is played by Eartha Kitt...
Apparently, this was Eartha's reaction when she heard what cat! Yzma's voice sounded like. They threw it in.

Averted in an episode of Get Smart, when Sigfried has captured Max to replace him with a duplicate (also played by Don Adams). Max remains calm until the duplicate demonstrates he's also got the voice down.

Invader Zim had Dib comment on how boring his explanations are when he meets a future version of himself. Played with in that it's actually Zim talking through a robot duplicate. He even lapses into his usual speech patterns at one point.

Diane of El Goonish Shive is resistant to the idea that Susan looks and sounds just like her. While the audience obviously doesn't get to hear either character's voice, both Ellen and Rhoda have commented that they sound identical. Diane is less than convinced.

Daredevil: In an early issue, Foggy Nelson impersonates Daredevil to impress Karen Page as the real DD looks on. Matt reacts to Foggy's attempts to sound like Daredevil with disdain. "Now there's a remark worthy of Spider-Man! I wonder if I sound that cornball?" Later, after realizing he actually does sound as silly as Foggy sometimes, he says "from now on I'm the old-fashioned strong, silent type crimefighter."

Family Guy
Lois hears her own voice when she speaks into a microphone.
In an earlier episode, Lois has this reaction when she sees Fran Drescher playing her in a reality show based on the Griffins.
In "Crimes and Meg's Demeanor", when Lois tries to talk to Meg about her drinking, Meg says she knows what she's gonna say and how she'll say it:

In the Forgotten Realms novel Azure Bonds, Giogioni Wyvernspur does a frighteningly accurate impression of King Azoun IV of Cormyr—so much so that an assassin tries to kill him in the mistaken belief that he's the king in disguise. When Giogi ends up meeting the king, he's asked to demonstrate his impression. The king is not amused and insists that he doesn't sound like that, to which his court mage replies, "With respect, Your Highness, you do."

Lampshaded mercilessly on Friends. Ross starts insulting Russ's diction, totally unaware that Russ speaks exactly as he does (if a bit more exaggerated). The others are clearly trying their best not to break out in guffaws, but Chandler manages to calmly ask whether that's annoying. Cue Ross using exactly the same diction to reply "... Yeah!"
Inverted when Phoebe professionally records her song "Smelly Cat". Phoebe is astonished as how good she sounds, despite is being obvious to everyone else that she has been dubbed by a real singer.

Played with in the IDW crossover between the movie versions of the Ghostbusters and their animated counterparts since Real!Janine wasn't voiced by her movie actress. Movie!Ray uses his team's trans-dimensional portal to enter the "Real" dimension to try and get some readings that could help the situation. He also has a video camera that sends footage to their computer, and gets Real!Janine on camera. Upon hearing the latter's voice, Movie!Janine then has this exchange with the "Real" versions of Egon and Ray:
